Given the limited use of non-pharmaceutical interventions, these disruptions do provide an opportunity to probe viral interference due to the out-of-season epidemics. The objectives of the study are twofold: to characterize atypical RSV activity in the United States (US) and to explore the mechanisms underlying changes in RSV epidemics following the pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Laboratory-confirmed RSV cases across 10 US regions from June 2007 to July 2019 were analyzed. A dynamic time warping method was used to characterize RSV activity in different seasons. A two-pathogen model was constructed to explore viral interference mechanisms. A sampling-importance resampling method was applied to estimate the effects of viral interference.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We found that RSV activity was reduced following the influenza pandemic in the 2009\/10 season across all regions in the US. By contrast, we found an enhanced but delayed RSV epidemic across the US in the 2010\/11 season. Using a mathematical model, we identified three potential viral interference mechanisms that could explain the change of RSV activity following the pandemic. The pandemic influenza may interfere with RSV to reduce susceptibility to RSV coinfection, or shorten the RSV infectious period, or decrease RSV infectivity in co-infections.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study provides statistical evidence for atypical RSV seasons following the influenza pandemic in the US and sheds light on viral interference mechanisms affecting RSV epidemics, offering a model-fitting framework for analyzing surveillance data at the population level.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1101\/2024.02.25.24303336","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,27]],"date-time":"2024-02-27T15:05:16Z","timestamp":1709046316000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The role of viral interference in shaping RSV epidemics following the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"given":"Ke","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deus","family":"Thindwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel M","family":"Weinberger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Virginia E","family":"Pitzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2025022111250762000_2024.02.25.24303336v2.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(22)00478-0"},{"issue":"12","key":"2025022111250762000_2024.02.25.24303336v2.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1095","DOI":"10.1097\/INF.0b013e3181812c8e","article-title":"A novel active respiratory syncytial virus surveillance system in the United States: variability in the local and regional incidence of infection","volume":"27","year":"2008","journal-title":"Pediatr Infect Dis J"},{"issue":"6","key":"2025022111250762000_2024.02.25.24303336v2.3","first-page":"476","article-title":"Lessons to learn from the current pandemic for future non-pharmaceutical interventions against the respiratory syncytial virus - nationwide register-study in Finland","volume":"53","year":"2021","journal-title":"Infect Dis (Lond).
